Strange turn signal issue, I’m used to working on Japanese cars so I’d like some advice on where to start
Swapped out the headlights yesterday, I’d have loved to stick with the originals but all the plastic brackets had broken off and it was roughly the same price for used originals vs new aftermarket ones. Install went smooth, wired the halos to the low beams, and everything worked perfectly when I tested it all. Only thing I didn’t check is the turn signals, which are the same bulb as the marker lights, and now I see that the left turn signal doesn’t work. Weird part is that the marker light does work. First thought was that it wasn’t connected right since the connector was a little finicky, but now I’m thinking either it’s a dual filament bulb that’s messed up (weird for brand new) or the fuse is bad (weird bc the other side works perfectly). Any advice? Ideas of where to check? Electrical is where I’m most confident, I’m just not sure I trust myself on a 30yo German car. Seems like fixing one thing breaks two things on these.
Side note, are any of you z3 people in NC? I’ve got one or two more things in the immediate fix list and I’d love to know another z3 owner to drive around and talk car issues, as corny as that might be
